這兩題好像都是問個人意見(?)
可是......感覺評分會不好評
我初步判斷 問答題的基本功能確實是問個人意見 (是根據專業英文答題的印象)
然後 選用問答題 可能是要豐富試題內容 讓測驗免於流俗
提供一個 良性的 WASHBACK 可增加試題得可靠程度
還請 批評指教
考試考得是閱讀測驗，但是又希望有short answer的時候，
必須拿掉可能會導致"subjective scoring"的部份，答案須能在文章內找到，才不會失去reliability。
（例如我們專英考short answer，但其實答案都是跟文章相關的。）
詳細可以去翻閱課本 :)
另外，麻煩請寫出你用的subskill（p,138-139）
詳細請參考stacey跟phoebe寫的
對了，麻煩編輯完後可以在word再檢查一次，因為有些wrong typing。
我不確定那些字是文章內的特殊用字或是單純的wrong typing，也無法擅自修正，謝謝。
我是用 Word 檔打得 我會確認一次 禮拜一會補上 S - Skill 謝謝提醒 !
關於問答題可行的 辦法 只要盡量限制答題者 的答題範圍應該就可以增加可靠程度
我會再作修改 可能會給一個完全明確的 答題方向
( 實際上一開始也有去考慮這部份 所以 才會要求他們 給我答案然後附上理由)
但似乎無法滿足你們所要的要求 總之 ! 謝謝 !

Dear, 這篇我稍微修改了一下（修內文跟兩個答案），因為我找了一下課本，
出這種東西的答案要是內文找得到，而且不太能用其他單字代換的答案比較好。
